1 Maxi sky Track solutions with people in mind

2 2 Maxi Sky Track Solutions SUPPORTING A TOTAL CEILING LIFT CONCEPT ArjoHuntleigh track solutions provide optimised systems to support the use of Maxi Sky ceiling lifts in the improvement of patient handling at care facilities. ArjoHuntleigh can create the ideal track configuration for your needs. There is a solution for every type of ceiling and the system flexibility to meet any layout challenge. System configurations are available to support patient handling routines on a permanent basis, or for semi-permanent or temporary situations. The most commonly used track solution is a permanent set-up the KWIKtrak system. KWIKtrak includes single tracks, curves, X-Y traverse systems, gates, turntables, exchangers and numerous attachment products a range of options that can be combined to create the ideal layout for your specific requirements. However, not all facilities require a permanent solution, so KWIKtrak can also be assembled as a freestanding Semi-Permanent Rack, both as a single track or X-Y system. And, if a flexible ceiling lift solution is required for temporary patient handling duties, the portable freestanding Easytrack FS gantry is the most convenient option. This permanent KWIKtrak solution includes an exchanger to serve two facing rooms as a shared connection to the corridor track in an elderly care facility.

3 Maxi Sky Track Solutions 3 Typical installation layouts A straight track intended for direct transfers between bed and wheelchair, day chair, etc. With the track at a slight angle to the bed, it is easier to find the optimum point for lifting the patient. One single U-shaped track can provide good coverage in a care environment with multiple beds. Another alternative for multiple-bed coverage is the X-Y traverse system. An X-Y traverse system combined with a gate and single track creates a convenient and comfortable solution for bedroom coverage and toilet access. The two fixed tracks over the beds are attached to a turntable and curved track section to provide smooth access for toileting. Two fixed angled tracks over the beds are connected to an exchanger, which links to a curved track section for toilet access.

4 4 Maxi Sky Track Solutions CHOOSING THE RIGHT JUNCTION The KWIKtrak system provides a number of different junctions for linking together the various sections of the overall layout. The junction options described below are powered by the lift cassette itself. This convenient solution means it is not necessary to install and provide an external power supply. Exchanger The exchanger is a lateral switcher that allows the lift to move from one track to another. How it works: move the ceiling lift to the activation station just before the exchanger and release the button on the hand control. Listen for the beep sound, and then wait while the exchanger switches to the other track. The exchanger is also fitted with an emergency button to allow manual operation. Turntable The turntable enables the lift to switch route in a multi-directional track system by accommodating a two, three or four-track junction. Tracks can be attached to the turntable using one of the 16 connection points. How it works: move the Maxi Sky 600 to the activation station at the centre of the turntable and release the button on the hand control. Listen for a beep sound, and then wait while the turntable switches the route. If there is more than one Maxi Sky 600 in the system, there must be an activation station on every track entering the turntable in order to access it. The turntable is also fitted with an emergency button to allow manual operation. ArjoHuntleigh can also supply a turntable operated by a pull cord. This turntable is mainly used in combination with a Maxi Sky 440 portable ceiling lift. In this case, an external power supply is required. Gate The gate is used when you want to connect a fixed track to an X-Y traverse system. How it works: move the Maxi Sky 600 to the gate stopper, and then align the moving track in the X-Y system with the fixed track. When the tracks are aligned and the Maxi Sky 600 touches the gate stopper, a beep sound will indicate the imminent gate action. The moving track and fixed track will clamp together, the gate will open and the Maxi Sky 600 can go through the gate onto the fixed track. When the Maxi Sky 600 is to return to the X-Y system, the gate will automatically unlock and secure the track stopper at its ends. Charging and activation stations can be clipped on at any point along the track. When using an X-Y system, the charging power is transferred by a charging interface over to the moving track.

7 Maxi Sky Track Solutions 7 Optimised installation procedure It is important to conduct a room assessment at an early stage in a ceiling lift project. Verifying the room measurements, locating potential obstacles and determining the ceiling and wall structure all these are vital factors in selecting an efficient optimum track layout. Once the optimum system has been selected, the fast and easy installation procedure is the next step in the smooth transition to day-to-day operation. ArjoHuntleigh installation technicians are highly trained specialists and experienced in dealing with every type of installation. Due to the modular KWIKtrak system components, especially the patented track bracket, the ArjoHuntleigh installation procedure is very fast compared to conventional methods. This means that potential logistics problems relating to relocation of residents during the installation period are minimised. After installation is completed, the system is tested in accordance with all relevant regulations, and a certificate will be issued. Once Maxi Sky is operational at your care facility, system aftercare by our service technicians will continue the high standards of speed and efficiency set by the installation procedure. Everything is possible! A complete rail system in a physiotherapist training centre.
